I don't like reacting this way, which is why I mentioned it to him in that session. And he clarified yesterday that it's the first time I'd really talked about my own role in things and not liking my own reaction, as opposed to just talking about ways he'd upset me, things I felt he'd done wrong, etc.

I do want to change how I react to things (with everyone, not just him)--he said that recognizing it is a huge step forward. It's just a matter of figuring out how to do that.
